Plan ahead: Allow extra travel time to Melbourne Airport

PSA: If you’re heading to the airport over January to early March 2025, we encourage you to allow an extra 30 minutes for your journey due to potential delays caused by construction works in the Terminal 123 forecourt. If you're picking up or dropping off loved ones, consider using Exit 19A and the Terminal 4 Car Park to avoid congestion in the Terminal 123 forecourt. We apologise for the inconvenience.

It's important to plan ahead

Victoria is growing, and so is Melbourne Airport.

There are road disruptions, parking bay closures and car park changes due to construction work around Melbourne Airport. Please check this page so you can plan ahead.

We understand it may cause some inconvenience and ask for your understanding and support as we navigate through this growth phase to create an airport that is equipped for the future. 

Road delays and disruptions

There are road disruptions due to construction work around Melbourne Airport. Please check this list so you can plan ahead.

Parking bay closures and car park changes

We’re building a more direct road from the Tullamarine Freeway for easier access to all terminals. These works will result in a reduction in the amount of car parking spots available in the Value, T123, and Business Car Parks.
